How to test thru JCL if any file(PS or VSAM) is empty or
not. I do not want to use any COBOL prog or Ezytrieve and
want to do using utility.

Use comparex/ISRSUPC utility and compare ur file with an
empty file of the same DCB parameter. Retrun code of 28
means the file is empty. return code of 1 means the file is
not empty.
